Service Description
DRAWING AND PAINTING: Drawing and painting have always been two sides of the same coin. Where drawing is observing with the body, painting is translating that observation into an experience of layers, of process. In this course we will learn to listen to our subject matter and understand whether its edges are yearning to be jaggedy or fluid, thick or transparent... This course will delve into both drawing and painting aspects simultaneously, with each painting lesson bouncing off the previous drawing lesson and vice versa. We will understand how to uncondition our ways of seeing to be able to really look, learn to feel our relationship with both our subject matter, our drawing tools and the paint itself. Lessons will cover a spectrum of techniques ranging from drawing in reduction, painting alla prima and everything in between. The painting section of the course will be taught with oil but there will be space for personal experimentation and preference further on. Ever wished that the moments you pause and feel the world around you could last longer? That you could somehow connect to life in a deeper way whilst keeping things fun? In this course we will use drawing as a means to approach observation with curiosity, explore form in all its aspects, and ultimately learn to develop a way of seeing that brings us into our presence. The course will consist of dynamic warm up exercises, lessons designed to individually target and harness observation techniques, and an introduction to colour theory. Drawing into painting is the perfect course both for students with and without previous experience as tutoring will be tailored to students' individual levels. The course can be taken on its own as a way to relate to drawing in a new way, or as groundwork for a deeper understanding of the way painting works. Materials info coming soon

We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
